Is apt-proxy dead?

[Daniel Serodio <dserodio@email.com>]

	First, sorry if this is the wrong list for this, please point me to the
right one if I'm wrong.

	Is apt-proxy dead? There are "important" bugs 342 days old (#76113),
annoying issues reported 317 days ago (#96517, more often than not it
stalls after retrieving 99% of a file) and a weird "New upstream version
available" report (ain't it a debian-only package?).

	I'd give it a look, if it weren't a sh mess. I'm pretty sure I'm not
the only one who has considered rewriting it in perl. Does anyone have
any info on its current status, if a perl rewrite was ever considered,
etc?

	Despite all this problems, it very very useful for networks of debian
boxes, but it could be much more useful if these problems were solved...
TIA
